Still here.
No itâs not.
Letâs see if anyone remembers this oneâŚ
âIâm gonna write me a mini-van!â
Replace write with vote and you have DS.
Funny how I remember voting.
Run that wheel.
Totally ironic.
Cool story bro!
Pretty sure the population of California keeps rising.
So you read that entire conversation and come back with this petty little personal insult?
Its all he knows.
I already answered that. Pay attention, I wrote:
What on earth does that question have to do with what I wrote? We all know Congress has been given constitutional authority to lay and collect taxes to pay for the common defense and general welfare as itemized beneath Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1.
The military, post offices and post roads, are included in the list subjoined beneath Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1.

The unavoidable truth is, the Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezâ, Andrew Gillum and Ayanna Pressleyâs socialist plan for âfreeâ college tuition will be paid for by taxing millions of college graduates who worked for and paid their own way through college and are now trying to finance their own economic needs.
Our Constitution allows for me to be captialist and you and your group to be socialists. No one is stopping leftists from forming a share the wealth co-op or something. Just use contracts like capitalists do.
âShare the wealth co-opâ? Sounds like a fancy name for a commune. You know, like where communists are.
You need wealth in order to have a âshare the wealthâ system. Thatâs why they need your money too.
How many hours you work means nothing. How much you get paid for those hours is everything.
I get paid a lot when I work overtime. That doesnât mean Iâm bettering humanity, or leading a more rich and fulfilled life. The freedom and ability to pursue leisure activities, hobbies, interests, travel, arts and sciences is crucial to leading a good life. You canât do that if youâre working all the time.
Tell me about it! From May to October I work 7 days on and 7 days off the entire time, all paid. Due to scheduling and the amount of time I get off I can manipulate the schedule this way. I do this in order to have free time during the spring, summer, and fall. I miss out on plenty of overtime because of this. People at a lower pay scale than me actually make more money in the year.
What I find is that most people do not choose my path and prefer to work. These arenât poor people starving for money. Theyâre making between 30-45 dollars an hour. Most people I work with prefer to come to work for time and a half over taking a comp day at straight time. Read that last sentence again for it to sink in. I prefer and value leisure time. Most people Iâve met in my life do not. They want to work and make as much money as possible. But what was your point?
My OT pay is 45 an hour so weâre coming from similar salary points. Iâm working right now. I do manual data capture all morning from my laptop before I work for 9-10 hours each day. It allows me to live in luxury relative to the rest of the world, but barely puts me into an influential class in America. I grind out 60 hours a week all year to be able to use my 4 weeks of vacation time to forget about how much of a horrible grind 60 hours a week, every week, becomes.
With advancements in technology, automation, almost unimaginable wealth is created in this country, yet people at our station are considered âsuccessfulâ. Imagine taking home even 20% less than what you do now, how hard that would make life, and realize that the majority of people you bump into on the street make that little or less.
Itâs not about âtakingâ money from rich people. Itâs about rebalancing priorities in this country away from profit at all costs towards life fulfillment for all people.
Do I have a responsibility to âbetter humanityâ.
Yeah weâre at the same scale. But 60 hours a week? Thatâs rough. I always turn down overtime that is more than 2 hours. Iâm not putting in double shifts. The only time I have to work OT is for snow plowing. We are required to work snow OT on 4 out of every 5 events. But as far as the bold, I donât know how you would go about doing that.
